What is actually happening here?
The instance of MC “CreateRecordSet” is duplicating the instance of MC “MyButton” which contains the “MyButton” Button. Each Duplicated MCwas named according to its current row. We keptduplicating until CurrentRow GT TotalUsers,(Simulating a CFOUTPUT Query Loop)
The Variables that were loaded on the main timeline were sent to the duplicated MCs NOTE: Buttons always inherit the Variablesthat exist on that timeline. MC’s do not.
New MC #1 received User1_LNAME data, New MC #2 receivedUser2_Fname, and so on and so on.
NOTES: To Read or Set Variables from the “ROOT” Timeline, we must use: /:VariableName To Read or Set Variables from Movie Clips, we use their Instance Name: /:InstanceName/VariableName
